Hold planning meeting with new board using SHAPE planning workbook—be sure to include a succession planning discussion. 

Participate in your state leadership conference if one is held (required for SHAPE Award). 

Complete the SHAPE chapter online form by Jan. 31—plan for at least two people to have the data to complete it on time in case one person is unavailable. 

Ensure that the chapter president is a member of SHRM throughout the year. If your bylaws require that other chapter board members are SHRM members, ensure that they remain SHRM members throughout the year. 

If you hold a chapter conference or any educational event for 200+ participants, invite your FSD to speak at a session; also offer your FSD 10-15 minutes of time at the podium to address the full group; FSD should have a prime/visible booth location if you have an exhibit hall. (Required in SHAPE) 

Notify your Field Services Director (FSD) of key chapter events for the year, such as conferences, annual award ceremonies, strategic planning meetings, and any other events you might want SHRM staff to attend. If there have been any changes in your volunteers, report them to your Regional Administrator.

Keep SHRM informed of any changes to e-mail addresses, contact information, and role changes as they occur.
